Ryan Hoff Hucks Huge Cliffs

Before you dive into the latest ski edit from former Notre Dame All-America creaseman and occasional Denver Outlaw Ryan Hoff, a little backstory.

I stalk Hoff on Instagram, and on Facebook. I wish I had his life: ski all winter, whitewater raft guide in the summer in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, one of the country's most beautiful spots. His bio on Instagram reads: "Just ski down there and jump off something for crying out loud." Not going to lie, I officially have a man-crush on the guy.

For the last six years, I've gone on a guys ski trip around the Super Bowl. It started in Jackson and continued this year in Whistler, B.C. We have officially had one day of fresh powder, and that was day-old snow in the Back Bowls at Vail last year.

So I can attest to three things: 1) the snow in this video is amazing, 2) the terrain and how he's skiing it is also ridiculous and 3) I desperately wish I had been in Jackson during this stretch instead of B.C.

I'll say it one more time: this is amazing skiing.

Not bad for a guy who grew up in Maryland and spent his college career scoring 134 goals and starting 60 of his 63 games at Notre Dame. He had a cup of coffee with the Outlaws in 2012, appropriately scoring four goals in two games with Denver. He is also a former IL blogger, starting an awesome but unfortunately short-lived run of Player Blogs on InsideLacrosse.com.

So, enjoy this Snowmageddon on the East Coast and marvel at the Winter Wonderland that is Jackson Hole and the rare talents of lacrosse's own Ryan Hoff.
